Illinois EF Message 0147 is generated when IL Electronic Filing NOT Allowed because "I have filed the extension and am now ready to do a regular return" has not been checked on the IL Extension screen.
To clear EF Message 0174 either:
-
Return to the IL Extension screen and check the box "I have filed the extension and am now ready to do a regular return"
or
-
Disregard the message and file the IL Extension. This disallows transmittal of the state file electronically.
-
Open the EF - EF Options Override screen and make necessary changes if needed.
